THs NewEbfS market has been very
sctfTs during the week. This activity
has been accompanied by considerable
4 price fluctuations. Taking the week as 8
wh6)e, values show marked gain bothIin
futhfss and spots. The crop movement
has 1aen again light. Speculative manip-
ulationEas- actively exercised on both
siaes of.sf5position. The greatest actiyi-
l4y. was on the old crop months,
(which, in view of the present
EOnditions of supply and demand,
EPromise to be q source Of considerable
Melton before the close of the present
chop year. The general situation as re-
gsFas the old shows no change. Euro
pean Sdstees on Tuesday were lower.
This, added to reports of heavy Indian
supplies being drawn out by the pros
| pect of higher prices and more favorable
crop adYiCes from Texas, caused values
to shrink materially. On Wednesday
| prices showed a decided upward tendency,
and ell cotton offered was quickly taken
at higher prices. On Thursday sharp
| squeeze was engineered in June. The
"shorts" were severely handled. The
whole of the activity seemed concentrated
upon this mouth, the rest of the old and
the entire new crop months falling to
show the same relative active activity.
June delivery at one time on Thursday
reached lie, but broke later in the day.
The causes for the squeeze were variCusly
attributed. The concensus of opinion
credited some prominent local operators
with the engineering of the deal. The
! fact remains, however, that nearly all
markets responded actively to the call.

q reduction in stocks. The business done
was of good volume. Spots were
